All Activity

With a space between $APP_DATA_DIR to /Volume1/Emby?

Okay it would be helpful if everyone sent this to TerraMaster support so they get on it. support@terra-master.com

I've been using a smart playlist I call "Popular this week" that is filtering by 'Last played' by 'Any user's '<=' '7' It works pretty good for the most part but it registered manually marking an item as played as being watched. So if a user goes through their library and marks a bunch of stuff as watched it gets picked up by the smart playlist. I was trying to thing of ways to avoid these false plays and realized there isn't really a good way to track playback duration natively in Emby. There is the playback reporting plugin that tracks that information and it's db can be interacted with via an API. To retrieve item playback activity from the Playback Reporting plugin, send a POST request to the plugin's reporting query endpoint. The plugin uses an underlying SQLite database table named PlaybackActivity. You can pass a standard SQLite statement in the CustomQuery payload. Any example using my "Popular this week" format would look like: HTTP Request: POST /emby/Plugins/PlaybackReporting/Report/Query?api_key={ApiKey} Content-Type: application/json Payload: { "CustomQuery": "SELECT DISTINCT ItemId FROM PlaybackActivity WHERE DateCreated >= datetime('now', '-7 days')" } Response: (example) { "Columns": ["ItemId"], "Results": [ ["123456"], ["789012"], ["345678"] ] } Once can also create a custom query within the Playback Reporting Plugin and send a HTTP request to run the saved query. For example: POST /emby/Plugins/PlaybackReporting/Report/Query?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE HTTP/1.1 Host: http://localhost:8096 Content-Type: application/json { "ReportName": "popular this week" } @soderlund I know it is a pretty niche case but would it be possible to implement something like this? I could see there being other use cases for polling the Playback Reporting Plugin too.

I think it's TOS because when I updated TOS to the latest version (last week), I edited the config file again.

Is this a Emby issue or TOS 7 issue? @gluk147@Luke I will note there is a new TOS 7 update out today that mentions library scanning fixes for Emby but no mention of a fix for this issue.

To fix this bug, simply enter in the terminal nano /Volume1/@apps/emby/emby-server/bin/emby-server And replace -programdata in the config with the correct path -programdata $APP_DATA_DIR /Volume1/Emby \ After restarting the server, everything will work correctly.

Version 3.5.36

@Mendocinotim?

OK we are looking into this. Thanks.

Hi, what version have you tried?

@denisj Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Thank you for updating this! It was also good to get the new maintenance mode feature on that page. The only real suggestion I have at the moment is to move "Emby Server Folder Paths Information" to right after "Emby Server Friendly Name" and then follow it with "Emby Server Shutdown and Restart" so it flows more top-down left-right in alignment with the dashboard page. Currently it starts with the friendly server name, then jumps down to the URLs, then back up for shutdown/restart, then left for server paths. Purely a suggestion though, the information is still good as is.

I will do that later today. For opus, I was somewhat involved in the listening tests done with the encoder 15+ years ago, so I've always just kind of been partial to it. Plus the webm container requires it which was more or less made by google as Android is also made by google. So an Android product not supporting opus seems as likely as an apple product not supporting AAC. By native support are you talking about hardware or software? I have never noticed transcoding due to the use of opus audio. I dug up some old logs from May, watching the same series, The Office. Obviously a different episode but verified it was still av1/opus (attached) The black screen and opus transcoding issue only appeared after the app updated automatically on July 18. embyserver_.txt

There is not currently although it's certainly possible.

HI, we'll have a new ffmpeg build on the server beta channel soon, so stay tuned for that. Thanks.

HI, yes I agree we should add that. Thanks.

Can you show a screenshot of what you do see? Thanks !

HI there, can you please provide a specific example? How to Report a Problem Thanks !

HI, are you still having an issue with this on Emby Server 4.9.5?

Thanks for flagging this. I have re-written the article and the updated document is now online Server Settings
